Susan Hampshire stars in
Pride and Prejudice
by Jane Austen - Adapted for the stage by Simon Reade
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife…” The ultimate romantic comedy, Jane Austen’s story of the five Bennet sisters and their relentless pursuit of suitable husbands is one of the bestloved novels ever written, constantly topping the polls of favourite books. When feisty Elizabeth Bennet first meets handsome bachelor Mr Darcy, she thinks him arrogant and conceited. When she later discovers that he has scuppered the relationship between his friend Bingley and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, the family’s lives are turned upside down as Jane Austen shows the folly of judging by first impressions and pokes gentle fun at the affectations and etiquette of provincial middleclass life. With its elegant Georgian settings and wonderful comic characters, Pride and Prejudice is perfect entertainment.
Susan Hampshire plays the foolish and marriage-obsessed Mrs Bennet, one of Jane Austen’s most delightfully ridiculous comic creations.
